365 Nights, Two Stepbrothers, One Me. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Lila Sinclair's POV I turned a little to the left, then back to the right, staring at my reflection in the floor-length mirror. My long dark hair tumbled down my shoulders, still damp from my quick shower, while the white sundress clung to my curves in a way I wasn’t sure was too much. I pouted at my reflection, then lifted my phone closer to my face where JoJo’s grin filled the screen. “What do you think?” I asked, stepping back so he could see the full fit. “Cute or trying too hard?” JoJo squinted exaggeratedly, making me laugh. “Hmm… cute, yeah, but you’re definitely trying too hard. You look like you’re about to attend your own engagement brunch.” I gasped dramatically. “Rude! This is my first full day in this mansion, Jo. I can’t look homeless.” He smirked. “You’d look hot in a potato sack and you know it. But seriously, babe, maybe go with the denim shorts and that little top I like. You don’t wanna look like you’re waiting for daddy to introduce you to a billionair

Lila Sinclair's POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, hardly recognizing the girl in front of me. The soft curls Ethan had fixed in my hair bounced over my shoulders, my dress hugged my body in all the right places, and the light makeup made me look like I belonged to this mansion, like I’d always been this polished.Ethan leaned against the doorframe with that smug grin of his.“Damn, Lila. If Damien doesn’t thank my father for adopting you, I will.”I rolled my eyes, but heat rushed to my cheeks. “Stop flattering me.”“I’m not flattering,” he said, stepping closer, his eyes scanning me slowly, deliberately. “I’m stating facts. Tonight, you’re about to make one woman very jealous.”I raised my brow. “Stephanie?”He chuckled, shaking his head. “Smart girl. You’ll catch on quick.”I sighed. “So let me get this straight. You’re dragging me to your ex’s birthday party to… what? Parade me like some trophy?”“Exactly.” He smirked wider, his tone playful but sharp underneath. “Steph

Lila's POV “Look who called today, pussyyy!” JoJo’s voice blasted from the screen before his face even popped up.I burst into laughter. He was leaning against some neon-lit wall, the strobes from a club bouncing across his dark shades like he thought he was a celebrity. “JoJo!” I grinned, instantly lighter. “God, do you ever change? Every time it’s some dumbass word first thing on the call.”“Why would I?” He smirked, lips glistening from a drink. “You love me for it. Admit it.”I rolled my eyes. “You’re insane.”“Insanely fine, maybe. Anyway, where the hell are you? This doesn’t look like your ratty apartment.”I snorted. “Long story. But first, where are you? And why do I hear ‘Despacito’ blasting in the background?”JoJo tilted his phone, showing flashing lights, half-naked strangers grinding against each other. “Club, baby. Some Tinder guy dragged me here. Thought he was gonna be my Prince Charming. Turns out, his cock was like a crayon. I had to cancel the deal.”I threw my hea

Lila's POV “Your phone,” I said shakily, my voice barely steady as we finally pulled up to what looked like a mansion disguised as a party hall. I handed him the device since it had been ringing nonstop since the drive.Damien took it from me without so much as a glance, no thank you, no warmth. His face was all sharp angles, clean cut, unreadable. Not that I expected appreciation....gratitude wasn’t in his dictionary when it came to me. He slipped out of the car in one fluid motion, his aura immediately pulling eyes.I exhaled and climbed out too, my heels clicking softly on the polished stones as I followed a step behind. I wasn’t foolish enough to walk beside him...Damien Blackwood wasn’t someone you tried to level yourself with.But he stopped suddenly and pivoted on his heel, his piercing eyes locking into me. “Why are you following me?”I froze. My tongue tied itself in knots as I stammered, “I...I just thought…”He hit his forehead with the heel of his palm, a gesture dripping

Lila's POV “I should go,” I murmured, tugging my hair into a quick ponytail as Ethan rose slowly from the edge of the bed.His hand brushed my cheek with a gentleness that made my heart squeeze. “Damn,” he whispered, voice rough from laughter and what we had just done, “I thought you were some saint.”I smacked his arm, laughing, hiding how hot my skin still burned. “Shut up.”“No, for real,” he leaned in, his lips ghosting near my ear. “Please stay.”“I can’t,” I whispered back, even though every part of me wanted to. “I need to freshen up before I crash.”He sighed dramatically and plopped back down on the mattress, giving me those puppy-eyes that always made me weak. “Don’t you feel awkward at all? About us?”I tilted my chin, smirking. “Awkward? Please. I wanted to fuck you too. You think you’re the only one with cravings?”He laughed so loud it shook his shoulders, and that broke whatever tension lingered. His grin was wild, boyish, dangerous. “Then you’re all mine.”I rolled my
